Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a fuel injector of a diesel engine with a predetermined drive time from a start of control, wherein a desired value for a start of combustion of a
- Combustion chamber filling of the diesel engine is determined.
- the invention also relates to a control device which controls the sequence of such a method.
- Such a method and such a control unit is known from DE 195 36 110 Al.
- the desired value is determined from measured operating parameters of the diesel engine, an actual value is determined from signals of various sensors, and the actual value is regulated to the desired value in a closed control loop.
- the manipulated variable for the control is the beginning of a signal with which the injector is triggered to trigger an injection. The beginning of this signal is in
- Base values for the start of control are stored, for example, in a map, which is addressed by operating parameters of the diesel engine.
- Start delay or dead time of the injector is due to the design of the injector and corresponds to a delay with which the injector responds to the drive signal with the beginning of an injection.
- the ignition delay is between this injection start and an actual start of combustion, ie the start of combustion.
- the start of combustion is known in the diesel engine triggered by a self-ignition of the fuel, which is injected into the heated by compression combustion chamber filling.
- correction of the values read out can be effected by a control intervention or by linking with operating parameter-dependent determined correction values.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that an ignition delay, which lies between the control start and the start of combustion, is estimated from operating parameters of the diesel engine with a computer model and the start of control is formed from the setpoint for the start of combustion and the estimated ignition delay.
- the control unit according to the invention is characterized in that it controls the sequence of such a method.
- An estimate of the ignition delay with a calculation model that processes operating parameters of the diesel engine results in an overall approximation of the actual value of the start of combustion to its setpoint. For a diesel engine that operates without regulation of the start of combustion, This results in an improved smoothness and a more efficient engine operation in a wide range of operating conditions and transitions between operating conditions. In diesel engines with a control of the start of combustion, there is a significant improvement in smoothness in the transition between different operating points and / or
- the method is preferably combined with a control of the start of combustion.
- the more homogeneous fuel distribution is achieved at least in part by an increased ignition delay.
- the increased ignition delay is generated by a high exhaust gas recirculation rate and thus by an increased inert gas content at the combustion chamber filling.
- the influence of an increased combustion chamber filling which would rather reduce the ignition delay, is changed by the inert gas component resulting from the exhaust gas recirculation.
- the temperature influence of the recirculated exhaust gases changes the temperature of the combustion chamber filling. It is therefore particularly preferred that the ignition delay is estimated using a physical model that simulates coupled influences of at least two operating parameters of the diesel engine.
- Fig. 1 shows the technical environment of the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of an inventive
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a device according to the invention Method for setting the start of combustion in a closed loop.
- FIG. 1 shows a diesel engine 10 with at least one combustion chamber 12, which is movably sealed by a piston 14.
- the combustion chamber 12 is filled via an inlet valve 16 with air from a suction pipe 18. Burned gases are expelled via an exhaust valve 20.
- fuel from a fuel pressure accumulator 24 is injected via an injector.
- the combustion chamber 12 exhaust gas is supplied via an exhaust gas recirculation valve 26 in an exhaust gas recirculation 28.
- the injector 22 and the exhaust gas recirculation valve 26 are controlled by a control unit 30, which processes signals from various sensors. In the illustration of FIG. 1, these are
- Combustion feature sensors 32 and / or 34 Combustion feature sensors 32 and / or 34, a fuel pressure sensor 36, an angle sensor 38 on a component 40 which rotates in synchronism with operating cycles of the diesel engine 10, a driver desire 42, a temperature sensor 44 and an air mass meter 46th
- the component 40 is, for example, a flywheel rotatably connected to a crankshaft of the diesel engine 10. However, it may be connected in another embodiment, for example, with a camshaft of the diesel engine 10. It is understood that real diesel engines 10 may have other sensors, such as exhaust gas temperature sensors. Furthermore, not every diesel engine 10 has to have all the sensors 32 to 46. For example, control of the start of combustion may be based on the signal from only one combustion feature sensor 32 or 34. The other sensor is then not necessary. When setting the start of control in an open timing chain can be on both Combustion feature sensors 32, 34 are dispensed with. The air mass meter 46 is also not mandatory.
- control unit 30 from the supplied sensor signals drive signals in the form of pulse widths ti for injections, is metered with the fuel for combustion in the combustion chamber 12, and outputs in the form of signals S_agr for controlling the exhaust gas recirculation valve 26 ,
- the combustion feature sensor 34 is a
- Combustion chamber pressure sensor which delivers a combustion chamber pressure p_br, while it is the alternative or complementary existing combustion feature sensor 32 is a structure-borne noise sensor, which delivers a structure-borne noise signal KS.
- the fuel pressure sensor 36 signals the fuel pressure or injection pressure p_kr.
- the angle sensor 38 provides in the embodiment of Fig. 1, a crankshaft angle information 0 KW as information about the position of the piston 14 in his work cycle. It is understood that this information can be derived not only from the crankshaft angle information, but also, for example, from a camshaft angle information. From the angle signal 0 KW can still information about the speed n of
- the driver's request FW represents a measure of a torque request by the driver and is detected, for example, as the accelerator pedal position by the driver's request generator 42.
- An engine temperature T is provided by the temperature sensor 44.
- the air mass meter 46 provides a measure of the flowing into the combustion chamber 12
- Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of a method for adjusting the start of combustion.
- the start of combustion is set with an open timing chain.
- the dashed line 48 separates functions of Control unit 30 of functions of the diesel engine 10.
- a determination of a desired value BB_setpoint for the start of combustion is made, which is to be triggered with the next injection. The determination takes place as a function of signals present in the control unit 30, in particular as a function of the rotational speed n and a
- Torque request as specified by the driver's request FW.
- the specification of the start of combustion setpoint BB_soll additionally takes place in dependence on a signal BA, which indicates the operating mode.
- the default can be done by accessing a stored in the control unit 30 map, which is addressed by the above sizes and possibly other sizes.
- a torque command input in question which is generated independently of the driver's request FW in the control unit 30.
- Such torque request specifications serve, for example, to support switching operations in automatic transmissions.
- the desired value BB_soll output by the block 50 is corrected by a calculation model for the ignition delay, which is represented by the block 52 and which is also referred to below as the ignition delay model.
- the ignition delay model 52 simulates the ignition delay based on operating parameters that characterize the condition of the combustion chamber charge before and during injection. Essential state variables in this context are the gas mass enclosed in the combustion chamber, Oxygen content and its temperature. In this case, the ignition delay model reduces the modeled ignition delay with increasing combustion chamber charge (gas mass), increasing oxygen content, decreasing droplet size of the injected fuel and increasing temperature of the combustion chamber charge and thus simulates the behavior of the actual ignition delay.
- the combustion chamber filling is essentially due to the air sucked in on a suction stroke of the piston 14 and the amount of exhaust gas recirculated into a combustion chamber filling.
- the mass of sucked air results as a function of the signal ml of the air mass meter 46 and the rotational speed n.
- the recirculated exhaust gas mass in a combustion chamber filling by the exhaust gas recirculation controlling signal S_agr and the rotational speed n can be determined.
- the temperature is significantly influenced by the heat of compression and heat transfer from Brennraumwandungen to the combustion chamber filling.
- the heat of compression depends on the combustion chamber filling and the temperature effect of the heat transfer depends on the temperature T of the diesel engine 10.
- the droplet size depends on the injection pressure p_kr.
- the ignition delay is estimated using a mathematical model that simulates coupled influences of at least two operating parameters of the diesel engine. It is further preferred that one of the at least two operating parameters is an exhaust gas recirculation rate.
- the exhaust gas recirculation rate in particular affects the combustion chamber charge and / or the temperature the combustion chamber filling.
- the combustion chamber charge and / or the temperature is preferably used as a second or further parameter in modeling.
- an inert gas fraction resulting from the exhaust gas recirculation at a combustion chamber filling is estimated in the estimation of an influence of the
- Combustion chamber filling at the ignition delay considered.
- a temperature increase of the combustion chamber filling resulting from the exhaust gas recirculation rate is taken into account in the estimation of an influence of the temperature of the combustion chamber filling.
- An ignition delay formed with the ignition delay model 52 is subtracted from the setpoint for the start of combustion from the block 50.
- the subtraction takes place in the linkage 56. If a zero is assigned to the top dead center OT of the piston 14 in the compression stroke as a fixed angular position, then the nominal values for the start of combustion, which are generally before top dead center, have a negative one Sign. By subtracting the amount of ignition delay formed in the linkage 56, a desired value for the start of injection is thus formed, which is earlier in time than the nominal value for the start of combustion.
- a pull-in delay or injector dead time IT which elapses between a triggering of the injector and an actual opening of a flow cross section in the injector 22, is also subtracted.
- This Injektortototzeit can, for example, the battery voltage and / or supply voltage u and the
- Fig. 2 thus represents a formation of a control start for an injector 22, which takes place in an open control chain and which is based on the specification of a setpoint for the start of combustion, from which a drive start is formed with the aid of a calculation model for the ignition delay.
- the injector 22 takes place in an open control chain and which is based on the specification of a setpoint for the start of combustion, from which a drive start is formed with the aid of a calculation model for the ignition delay.
- FIG. 3 An excusebeginn also be formed and corrected in a closed loop. Such a control loop is shown in FIG.
- the object of Fig. 3 differs from the object of Fig. 2 by the elements 66, 68 and 70.
- Like reference numerals designate like objects.
- a control deviation is formed from the setpoint for the start of combustion and an actual value for the start of combustion.
- the actual value BBJst is determined by processing the signals from one or both of the combustion feature sensors 32, 34.
- a controller 68 processes the control deviation to a control variable, which is linked in the embodiment of FIG. 3 in a link 70 with the setpoint for the start of combustion.
- the link 70 may also be between the links 56 and 60 or between the link 60 and the block 62.
